Studio Monitors With Windows Bass Boost

Superb studio monitors, with amazingly robust, but very tight and accurate bass.

I spent a long time looking into various 5.1 surround bass management solutions that would work with regular Windows audio as well as audio through a DAW for studio and game development use. There are various software solutions for each, but most would not give consistent results between Windows system and DAW audio. I started looking for either a bass management hardware unit (some add latency) or a surround controller with bass management (way more expensive than this sub), then came upon the few Genelec subwoofers which have built-in surround bass management. I only have a 5.1 surround system so I chose this sub, and am happy I did so. While the cost is higher than I would like, there aren't that many other subs that handle surround bass management, and it handles both bass management and LFE duties well. The manual is comprehensive, and there are little switches and a knob on the side that allow you to customize rolloff, boosts, power saving, 4 phases, and sensitivity. Noise floor is very low, and it pumps out enough oomph for my calibrated small home studio even with the largest rolloff as well as the lowest input sensitivity. I'm not using it to shake the house, but rather to hear the lowest frequencies correctly while mixing and listening to all kinds of stuff. It's also smaller than some other subs, and that's a plus for my room as well. I don't really have anything to complain about for this sub other than Genelec's pricing, but since there are few subs that handle surround bass management and I didn't find any cheaper than this, it is what it is. Great product.

Very good all round sound for studio monitors. They'll be a little on the non-bass side if you listen to music with them, but a clear acoustic-like sound. Perfect price for a budget-pro recording kit. Good sound is essential! Cables provided are perfect, the twist lock is a great design note, they also pack up rather well. As a bonus, get the leather carrying pouch too - everything oozes quality.

Fantastic for the studio monitors.

The adapters work very well. I am using two older HP monitors, HP w2408h and HP w2338h to interface with my HP (Windows 10 only) Pavillion desktop until the windows 10 update cut off happens next year. I purchased an HP Z2 Windows 11 desktop in anticipation of the windows 10 support cut-off and it has different display ports so....

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this monitor for just under a month now. I have been very happy with it. It helps a lot with these widescreen monitors to have Windows 11 for easier window sizing of various software. You can click the window and drag it to the top and then pick which size you want the window to be. I have tried 2 windows side by side. This is typically my gaming set up. I have also tried quadrant windows, so 4 windows total and that's not too bad either. The flatness isn't that much of an issue to me. The fact that it was much cheaper than the curved monitors that are similar in size was the selling point for me. I know curved monitors are all the rage right now, but this one works fine for me for what I do. I am typically playing FFXI (I know I'm old :D) 2 Windows side by side, and then of course normal web surfing etc. I also use SolidWorks with this computer and monitor and that has worked really well with the widescreen. The resolution on this one is 3440 x 1440. It's nice because not everything is ready for 4k and this is a slight upgrade from my 2k monitors that I had before. I would definitely recommend this monitor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this speaker! It's impressive and everyone I've shown it too has loved it. Would be great for tailgating or any kind of party. Pros: - Great bass. Offers 2 levels of bass boost. - Easy setup. Out of box and working within a few minutes. - Portable for it's size. It's big, but has 2 solid handles and can sit upright or lay on either side. - Individual volume controls for both inputs. I used it for karaoke and this was a great setting. - Ability to play music from different sources. USB, Bluetooth, or aux cable. - Great battery life. - Simple controls. - Nice light show. Can change the colors or just turn off if it's not your thing. Cons: - Not the cleanest sound. Bass boost will drown out the highs. - Can only connect to other Party Boxes. Wish I could connect with other JBL speakers like the Charge or Flip. - I couldn't use the app. It wouldn't find the speaker.

Easy to set up. Have bass boost up in settings and nice overall sound compared to tv ... much louder and they don't break up when maxed out.

This has performed well for 4 months. It has added a real boost to my Deal Tower running Windows 10.

I recently purchased this memory to boost an old Dell laptop running Windows 7Pro on 4GB. This was a great buy with awesome benefits, especially coupled with the 1TB Samsung SSD. I am always impressed with the great service you receive from B&H. The guys and sometimes gals do such a great job with recommendations.
